    Canada does not have a monarchy and it is no longer a “dominion”.

    Actually, we’re still a constitutional monarchy (the monarch is the de jure head-of-state, but does not wield absolute power), and the designation “Dominion of Canada” was never officially withdrawn as far as I know, it’s just that no one, even the government, uses it anymore. (“Dominion” is effectively meaningless in this context, anyway—it’s a word that was semi-randomly chosen back in the 19th century because people were afraid that “Kingdom of Canada” would give the Americans hives.)

    But yeah, we have much better things to do with our time than worry about shenanigans by minor members of the royal family.

      We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
